I had a CG125 in Taiwan about 1993 (they had a150cc max limit then ? does it still exist?), but it was made by Sangyang. They also built Honda cars under licence. c7u8

What was cute about the bike was a 4-speed ?cyclical?? gearbox ? down into 1st, down onto 2nd, down into 3rd and 4th and then down again into neutral! Naturally you could go up the box [4-3-2-1-n]. Neutral between 1st & 4th. It was such a gutless machine I hit neutral often looking for 5th! :xm

I was told this made it easy to coast up to the lights in 4th and just knock it straight into neutral and into 1st and away. Anybody else know about this? :dunno:

lovely bike

& the perfik machine to take your test on,,,,,,,,, get the date sorted Manic,, amazing how much faster it will go without that 'L' plate on the front,, & you can then take pillions.

Go for it,, let us know how it goes.
